5 Key Learnings NewCo Factory pilots new innovative ways to support entrepreneurship & accelerate startups with growth potential. Agility and responsiveness are essential in order to have success in public-private co-operation. NewCo Factory has a role to accelerate startups and build private-public partnerships. Generally, there isn t support for startups at early phase, since the development phase considered too risky. NewCo Factory has an important role in creation of strong, committed startup core teams that are able to build sustainable business and pivot fast if needed. Next step is to move from piloting to scaling and productizing NewCo Factory services and operations. Business acceleration > more professional focus on biz development needed for accelerating growth teams through the first development phases. Early phase funding is an essential acceleration tool for helping entrepreneurs to start a new potential growth company. NewCo Factory needs a funding instrument in order to provide attractive acceleration services. NewCo Factory has also piloted mechanisms to employ professional, unemployed persons to new startups. These pilots have generated new permanent jobs. Therefore, suggesting scaling up activity during NewCo Factory sees that Helsinki is a very attractive location for foreign startups and we should become more organized in attracting growth startups from Russia and Europe to Helsinki.
